With the holiday season now officially behind us, it’s time to start thinking about planning your next big vacation. Whether you are looking for a beach vacation to escape the winter or prefer a mountainside retreat for a skiing excursion, one commonality exists: you need a great piece of luggage.
When it comes to finding the suitcase that is right for you, it’s important to keep in mind how often you will be traveling, the length of travel, and your preferred airline’s weight limits. For a quick weekend road trip, it’s important to find a suitcase that is sturdy, spacious, and easy to maneuver.
Thanks to the folks at Level8, their Voyageur Carry-On is an easy way to get around.
The case is designed with an extra-wide handle to make transport easier. The German-made Makrolon polycarbonate provides a scratch-resistant exterior shell that is not only durable but also lightweight. What makes this case stand out is its “whisper-quiet” 360-degree wheels that allow you to move effortlessly in any direction with ease.
Ideal for quick weekend getaways, the eight-pound carry-on with 43-liter capacity is designed for a quick three-to-five-day journey. Be sure to keep in mind the standard carry-on luggage size for domestic flights is 22”L x 14”W x 9”H to ensure it will fit either in an airline’s overhead compartment or stowed safely under the seat in front of you. While airlines do have a size requirement for carry-ons, the good news is they do not have a maximum weight restriction.
In addition to the 20-inch convenient carry-on size, there are larger “checked” sizes available in 26, 28 and 30 inches ideal for extended getaways. If you travel frequently on short trips, the carry-on might be best suited for you. For longer voyages, you may want to consider a larger suitcase that will need to be checked in at the airport.
We love the 28-inch Checked model that comes in a limited edition yellow and black color designed to stand out in any airport terminal. The 12.4-pound case intended for 10-15 days of travel features the same super-wide aluminum alloy telescopic handle on the Carry On that can easily be extended while transporting or retracted when checking in. It also has an easy to set TSA-approved lock for streamlined security checks.
When it comes to packing, the sturdy luggage offers an interior compression system designed for neat, secure stowing and a 99-liter capacity. There is even a wet and dry separation pocket for organized packing of contents. Both spacious compartments are designed to keep you as organized as possible when traveling. The 28-inch Checked model measures 16.6”L x 13.3”W x 29.1”H.
Level8’s durable shell was designed to withstand general travel, including rough airport handling as it is loaded and unloaded onto the airplane. The sleek modern style not only looks great, but will stand out in any terminal, making baggage retrieval a breeze.
